Like many other discerning travelers before us, we've been enchanted by wild and wonderful Sabah. This hidden jewel has it all! Lush primordial jungles, rugged mountains (the highest summit in S.E. Asia), rare and exotic wildlife, ancient and mysterious tribes, great food (seafood is their specialty), pristine diving waters, and endless tropical beaches all combined into a most unique destination.
If you are looking for a holiday resort that is equal parts luxury, seclusion, and entertainment, we highly recommend Nexus Karambunai, a luxurious five star resort, with a big difference. Nexus is located one hour away from Kota Kinabalu amidst over 3,000 acres of lush jungle, a 6 km private beach and 18 hole championship golf course.
How about a 64 acre nature reserve within the compound of a resort? Shangri-la Rasa Ria allows you to get up close with Borneo's most endearing icon, the orang-utan.
While visiting wildlife in Sandakan, you must stay at the Sepilok Nature Resort, a mere 5 minute walk from the world famous Sepilok Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre. The resort sits in a virgin jungle reserve for orang-utans and other unique rainforest animals.
Lankayan Island Dive Resort, off Sandakan town, is a stunning and spacious resort catering for both divers and non-divers. One resort to a whole island allows plenty of private time, exploration, diving or snorkelling and relaxation.
